Tax Rate Mapping for Magento 2

The Tax Rate Mapping page lets you connect Magento tax rules to SnelStart tax types. This ensures invoices are booked with the correct VAT rates and to the appropriate ledger accounts in your accounting system.

Tip: Not sure which tax type to map? See Setup Helper: Configure Magento Using SnelStart Data to learn how to create a test invoice in SnelStart and see exactly which tax types and ledgers are used.

How It Works

1. Magento Tax Rules: You define tax rules in Stores → Tax Rules
2. Tax Rate Mapping: Here you map each rule to a SnelStart tax type
3. Ledger Selection: The tax type determines which ledger account is used
4. Invoice Sync: When invoices sync, the correct VAT rate and ledger are applied

Inline Editing

This grid supports inline editing:

1. Click directly on a cell you want to edit
2. Select the SnelStart tax type from the dropdown
3. Changes save automatically

SnelStart Tax Types

SnelStart organizes tax by category, which determines the ledger account used:

Common Mappings

Standard Dutch Webshop

With Shipping Tax

Setting Up Tax Mappings

1. Review your Magento tax rules:

   • Go to Stores → Tax Rules
   • Note which rules you use

2. Open Tax Rate Mapping:

   • Go to Accounting → Configuration → Tax Rate Mapping

3. Map each rule:

   • Click on the row to edit
   • Select the corresponding SnelStart tax type

4. Test with an invoice:

   • Sync a test invoice
   • Verify in SnelStart the correct ledger and tax rate were applied

Connection to Ledger Accounts

Tax type mapping works together with ledger configuration:

1. Tax type selected here → Determines VAT category
2. Ledger configuration → You configure which ledger account is used for each tax type

Example:

• Invoice line with 21% VAT → Mapped to "Hoog" → Uses "Product Hoog" ledger

See Configuration Guide for ledger account setup.

Troubleshooting

Invoice shows wrong tax in SnelStart

Tax type not available

Multiple tax rates on one invoice

"Tax rate not found" error

Fallback Tax Classes

If a tax rule isn't mapped, the system uses fallback tax classes:

• With Tax → Fallback for orders with tax
• No Tax → Fallback for orders without tax
• EU No Tax → Fallback for intra-EU VAT exempt
• No EU No Tax → Fallback for non-EU orders

Configure these in: Configuration → SnelStart → Advanced Settings
